Key Features & Advantages
-
Exceptional Catalytic Activity: Accelerates the reaction profile significantly, allowing for faster demolding times and increased overall production capacity.
-
Balanced Reaction Profile: Drives both the blowing and gelling reactions in a highly synchronized manner, ensuring excellent foam stability and optimal physical properties.
-
High Purity Assurance: The ≥99.00% purity level prevents unwanted side reactions and guarantees batch-to-batch consistency.
-
Formulation Flexibility: Can be used directly as a solid or easily dissolved in common industrial chain extenders (such as MEG, DPG, or BDO) for liquid dosing systems.
Suggested Applications
MXC-TEDA is highly versatile and acts as a foundational catalyst across multiple polyurethane segments:
-
Flexible Slabstock Foam: Highly effective in creating uniform cell structures in standard and high-resilience (HR) flexible foams.
-
Rigid Polyurethane Foam: Enhances the curing speed and structural integrity of rigid insulation panels and spray foams.
-
Microcellular Elastomers: An essential component in the production of high-quality polyurethane shoe soles, providing excellent mechanical strength.
-
Molded Foams: Optimizes the flowability and curing balance required for complex automotive seating and furniture molds.
Packaging & Storage Guidelines
-
Standard Package: 25kg net in a durable paper drum (custom wholesale packaging available upon request).
-
Storage Environment: MXC-TEDA is a highly hygroscopic (moisture-absorbing) material. It must be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse.
-
Handling: Keep containers tightly sealed immediately after use. Avoid prolonged exposure to air to prevent clumping and degradation of catalytic efficiency.
